Long race. Really up for this but it just didn't happen. Felt a bit battered and bruised when I woke up but a few little jogs and stretches seemed to do the trick to wake me up a bit.

Felt strong physically but technically just kept making misses - the controls that jumped out at me on the previous 2 days just seemed to be hidden away. Part of this was the terrain and part of it was being mentally tired I think.

Overall pleased with the weekend, but a WOC place was totally achievable -- the closest I have probably ever come.

C • Totally 1

Middle. Slight miss on one - spotted where I thought the control was but bottled it and checked out a hill to my right.

Caught sight of Duncan (2 minute man) on a hill near the end. Pushed to catch him but in my excitement made 2 mistakes and blew a top 4 (maybe 3) finish.

Good fun course.

Sprint. Missed 1st and 2nd controls but flowed nicely through the tricky control pick. Missed again at 10 but pushed on through the controls on the big hill. Racing the last 1/3 against Duncan.

3rd place - solid result but really surprised as it was a far from perfect race.

Run to Hillsborough and then home again - stopping off for fish and chips.

Hillsborough Park Sprint O. Good twisty turny course. Felt ok.

Run home from work then intervals - then 5 x 2.00 with 1 minute recovery.

Steady run home.
